Dakin Humane Society Dog Training Classes

Dakin Humane Society offers a variety of dog training classes, from beginner to advanced levels. We teach basic life skills and manners so your dog can become a successful companion and good neighbor. Dogs and handlers will work together on such topics as walking nicely on a leash, settling down when asked, meeting strangers politely, coming when called, and more. We use a customized approach for our classes based on the needs of the students in each class and make adjustments to our curriculum based on those needs. Some class options include Introduction to Polite Leash Walking, Puppy Kindergarten, Basic Manners, and Intermediate Manners. Discounts are available for dogs adopted from shelters, human and canine seniors, and US military personnel. To get started, sign up for one of our dog training classes at our Springfield or Leverett locations: https://www.dakinhumane.org/dog-training.html

Events Calendar

To say that there are numerous choices any given day or weekend is no exaggeration. Summer and fall, of course, are the most active with ethnic and music festivals, notably the Green River Festival in July, and craft fairs and fall foliage celebrations well into October and November. Whatever your pleasure, you will find extraordinary experiences that celebrate the rivers, hills and valleys and towns that typify New England as you’d hoped to find it.
